Kingsbury is known to be one of the most creative offensive coaches in college football. He has not had great success in terms of wins and losses, as he went 35-40 at Texas Tech. However, for a team looking to develop a young quarterback in Josh Rosen, Kingsbury has worked with, at least in college, Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, Case Keenum, Johnny Manziel and Davis Webb.

Kingsbury was fired from Texas Tech in November and hired by USC in December. He was previously offensive coordinator for Texas A&M and Houston.

In the last nine seasons where he has worked, five times his offenses were ranked in the top five in the nation in scoring.
